I also think it's time to hang up the Trivia game, or atleast get a new game going or something. It would be different if more than the same 10 people played it all the time, but it seems to be getting kinda old.

All I'm asking is for people to throw out ideas to make it better (or even for a similar game that'll last). The problem is, no one has thrown me anything the past month when I really needed it. I have a few ideas that I'll experiment on throughout the month, but I wouldn't mind the help.

And hey, if all else fails, I could always argue that no one is holding a gun to your head forcing you to go near the Jeopardy forum. Those who play like it, and I see no reason to take it away.

Maybe its old and nobody wants to play it anymore?? You call it "FIRST Jeopardy" but there are no questions on actual "FIRST Trivia". There are lots of vetrans out there that would have some really good "FIRST Trivia" questions. There would be a lot more people willing to play a game like that than just general trivia. Last night Andy Baker, DJ Flick, JVN, myself, and a few others were giving out some really tough "FIRST Trivia" and other trivia on aspects of a robot. I think to have a game that is like that, you would want somebody else to do it that has a better background on FIRST. This may not be the best time as we are going into build season, but perhaps once competitions are over somebody would want to volunteer to be the lead on a game like that.

Who would want to volunteer for being the lead on an actual "FIRST Trivia" game?



FYI, I am not volunteering myself for this one, but I would be happy to supply some trivia and would love to participate in a game like that.

I'm going w/ the majority here, I think the trivia game has run its course. Maybe if it actually had anything to do with robotics I'd play it, but it doesn't so I don't even look at it really. I like David's idea/suggestion of making a game that actually asks questions about FIRST and robotics. Someone should head that up.
